Saldana, Worthington to return for 'Avatar' sequels

Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington will reprise their roles as Neytiri and Sully, respectively, in James Cameron's three "Avatar" sequels. "Jake Sully is a rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor," Cameron said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they'll be returning with us to Pandora."
